Did you resolve this issue? Could you comment on why your app got rejected and how you fixed it? There are no mentions of apps being rejected because of MTStatusBarOverlay on the github page itself. Cheers.

Thanks for following up. I think I'll try if the review boards accepts it in a later release, to prevent compromising the initial launch.

I was thinking of adding a custom status bar as well but after this it got me thinking.. Maybe as a temporary option I could hide the status bar completely and add a UIView instead resembling the actual status bar (black background, time, signal strength..) + my custom text.. Will this be approved? Or would they deny this on the facts that it will be a close match to the actual status bar and users would get confused? I cant afford to get rejected due to project deadline.. Thank you..

@snksnk As you realised, what you are doing is trying to mimic iPhone's status bar. This idea is quite dangerous once found out by Apple. Why don't you just put a small label containing your text on top of (half of the) status bar? I think it sounds better.
